Hi,
No, we are not aware of such issue. Can you please Send me PM or Open support ticket and supply us with download link for few files that are missing tags after scan in 4.1.25? You can also compare behavior if install two separate versions of MMW as Portable installation which will not interfere regular install eg. c:\MM1883 and c:\MM1887

I've noticed that since I installed 4.1.25.1886 that iPlayer TV programmes are missing tags when imported. For instance all the Series titles are just 'TV'; the only genre that is imported is 'Comedy' and no dates are imported but a few of the Date fields have just the year. I tried re-installing build 1883 over 1887 but the same thing happens.
I then carried out a fresh install of build 1883 on a laptop and imported some of the problem files and all tags are displayed correctly. The files are stored on my NAS, should that have any bearing on the matter.

Hope this helps narrow down the problem,
Mac.

Edit: I have now reverted to build 1883 and tags are imported correctly but those files imported while I had 1886 and 1887 installed have had their tags permanently changed.

I apologize for not responding sooner, I have uninstalled all versions. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I am coming back to windows after a few years on mac (died on me) and have been testing a couple of different music player/manager. The decision that best suits me need is with a competitor mostly because of the current and the future state of the software (MM5).

Background: I've been updating/managing my files for years using various programs. The one I've settled on for updating my music file tags is TagScanner (current version 6.0.3.35. It's a very robust batch tag editor/file renamer. I've been using it for many years now.

SItuation: I could be wrong but it seems like recently MMW4 isn't reading the tags after I update them externally with this program. If I remove the music from my library and add it back, the updates show. This seems like very odd behavior. I'm quite sure MMW used to read any updates that were made regardless of how they were made. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I tested with the 50cent file supplied but am unable to replicate the problem. Here's what I did:

1 Install and run MediaMonkey 4.1.24 [clean portable install]
2 Within the startup wizard, initiate a scan of the directory containing the 50cent file (no import of iTunes metadata)
--> all metadata is imported (Title/Artist/Album/Album Artist/Genre/Year)

3 Install and run MediaMonkey 4.1.25.1888 [clean portable install i.e. to a different directory]
4 Within the startup wizard, initiate a scan of the directory containing the 50cent file (no import of iTunes metadata)
--> all metadata is imported (Title/Artist/Album/Album Artist/Genre/Year)

So MM 4.1.25 doesn't seem to exhibit a problem re. scanning tags from this file, unless there's a different issue related to import of metadata from iTunes. Can you confirm whether the issue occurs only with the import option enabled?

If anyone can replicate the problem within Metadata import enabled, can you send me other files that exhibit the problem?

The issue isn't with a fresh install of MM tho. The problem arises after the file has been scanned and then modified by another application. There is one setting which was off that I wasn't aware of. I had my primary folder set to scan continuously. Although all sub folders were selected, they weren't set to scan continuously. I just changed that setting. I restarted MM and nothing changed. The tag is still not updated. The culprit seems to be a sub-option of scanning new files. I have to remove the check for "only for files with changed timestamp or size", as I have the TagScanner program not update timestamps when updating my tags. This part seems to have fixed the issue.
